Abstract
The primary research question of this capstone project is: How can teachers effectively implement the Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research (STAR) program in a Federal Level III setting classroom? The STAR curriculum was developed based on research done by Joel Arick. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of the STAR curriculum through seventeen evidence-based practices that are embedded into the curriculum. The professional development for this project focuses on utilizing the STAR curriculum as a road map to guide the instruction occurring in a Federal Level III setting classroom. Participants are provided with four professional developments along with a google folder containing supplemental materials to help provide differentiation to the STAR curriculum. The professional development was intended to help support center-based elementary teachers and support staff better understand how to adapt the STAR curriculum to be effective in their classrooms.
